The Peddling Fruit Pickers project aims to collect unharvested fruit and vegetables from local residents and distribute them to people in need. This would occur through volunteers cycling or walking around to participating residents houses to collect the produce, which would be taken to local community centres to redistribute.

The first step of the project research involves developing a simple food map of exactly which houses in the community have excess produce and are willing to donate it. This â€˜food-map would then contribute to the feasibility study to see if there would be enough interest to actually run the project.
